“There is no accountability, and no consequences for open dissent on the preeminent moral issues. “
Really, there is no accountability anywhere.
As of Advent, we have a new English Translation of the Missal. Even in our parish, I have seen NOTHING about this.
What happens if parishes don’t use it? What happens if it’s business as usual with the “Jesus, Prince of Peace” for the Agnus Dei? Or adding whatever to the Eucharistic Prayer? What is done?
Nothing. Which is why parishes in Cleveland don’t kneel before communion and use the “stick um up”/modified Orans position for the Our Father. Nothing is done to correct it, in most Diocese.
“When the concerned faithful began to hunt down this “proportionate reasons” argument, they found it in the bishops’ own 2007 document, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility.” Stunned Catholics wondered aloud how the bishops themselves could have provided Obama’s Catholic supporters the very argument they needed to rebut any concern about his advocacy for infanticide as a state senator.”
This will be happening 2011. I know priests and deacons in my parish are actively going for training.
WELL PUT.
Parishes HAVE to use the corrected translation. It will be in the books and it is the order of Pope Benedict XVI.
I would say that as of Advent, 2011, your parish is not using the corrected translations — contact your Bishop and the Vatican ASAP!
